111DAYS TO GO! 12th & 13th November 2011
Scale ModelWorld is recognised as the largest model show in the world both in terms of size and visitor numbers and attracts thousands of people from all over the globe.
We have over 135 traders and manufacturers from all over the World including Japan, Russia, America, Europe and the UK selling an astonishing variety of products, "If you can’t find it at ScaleModelWorld it isn't available" is a well known saying in the modelling community. Additionally the majority of the specialist book publishers, shops and printed modelling magazines in the UK as well as a few from Europe attend the show.
Each Scale ModelWorld has its own theme which for Scale ModelWorld 2011 is "Cars" featuring a spectacular 84ft long display of models of racing and sports cars provided by Les Garagistes. This will be complemented by a display of vehicles from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust which will include the "bad guy" Jaguar from Die another Day and a replica for the the XK8 Shaguar from the opening sequence of the second Austin Powers film, 'The Spy Who Shagged Me'. Other attractions include "Meet the Maker" held in conjunction with HobbyLink Japan. Our very special guest this year is Mr Kunihiro Suzuki, President and founder of major Japanese model manufacturer Fine Molds. Mr Suzuki will be giving two one hour talks with a question and answer session over the weekend. Additional talks by well known modelling personalities including Mat Irvine and Trevor Snowden will also be taking place. For younger visitors Airfix will again be running 'Make and Take', an opportunity for budding modellers to try their hand at building and painting a free 1/72 scale kit. Airfix staff will be on hand to offer help and advice.
Over 150 club displays are also spread over 3 large halls with every imaginable genre or special interest in the modelling world represented somewhere among the many thousands of models on display. An important part of these displays is the Overseas area where you will find numerous traders and clubs from all over the globe and soak up the truly international and vibrant atmosphere.
We have always been known for the warm welcome given to new visitors and regulars alike and you will find that your time flies past so fast that the two days are over in a flash and you didn’t manage to get around half of the show, which is a good incentive to come again next year!
